Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)

Did you know . . .

If you have been prescribed a medication that is on the Prohibited List you can apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).

A TUE is an exemption that allows an athlete to use, for therapeutic purposes only, an otherwise prohibited substance or method (of administering a substance). In some cases a retroactive TUE can be applied for TUE.Click Here to find out more.
